How to Do Homework: 15 Expert Tips and Tricks
Coursework/GPA
Everyone struggles with homework sometimes, but if getting your homework done has become a chronic issue for you, then you may need a little extra help. Thatâs why weâve written this article all about how to do homework. Once youâre finished reading it, youâll know how to do homework (and have tons of new ways to motivate yourself to do homework)!
Weâve broken this article down into a few major sections. Youâll find:
- A diagnostic test to help you figure out why youâre struggling with homework
- A discussion of the four major homework problems students face, along with expert tips for addressing them
- A bonus section with tips for how to do homework fast
By the end of this article, youâll be prepared to tackle whatever homework assignments your teachers throw at you .
So letâs get started!
How to Do Homework: Figure Out Your Struggles
Sometimes it feels like everything is standing between you and getting your homework done. But the truth is, most people only have one or two major roadblocks that are keeping them from getting their homework done well and on time.
The best way to figure out how to get motivated to do homework starts with pinpointing the issues that are affecting your ability to get your assignments done. Thatâs why weâve developed a short quiz to help you identify the areas where youâre struggling.
Take the quiz below and record your answers on your phone or on a scrap piece of paper. Keep in mind there are no wrong answers!
1. Youâve just been assigned an essay in your English class thatâs due at the end of the week. Whatâs the first thing you do?
A. Keep it in mind, even though you wonât start it until the day before itâs due B. Open up your planner. Youâve got to figure out when youâll write your paper since you have band practice, a speech tournament, and your little sisterâs dance recital this week, too. C. Groan out loud. Another essay? You could barely get yourself to write the last one! D. Start thinking about your essay topic, which makes you think about your art project thatâs due the same day, which reminds you that your favorite artist might have just posted to Instagram...so you better check your feed right now.
2. Your mom asked you to pick up your room before she gets home from work. Youâve just gotten home from school. You decide youâll tackle your chores:
A. Five minutes before your mom walks through the front door. As long as it gets done, who cares when you start? B. As soon as you get home from your shift at the local grocery store. C. After you give yourself a 15-minute pep talk about how you need to get to work. D. You wonât get it done. Between texts from your friends, trying to watch your favorite Netflix show, and playing with your dog, you just lost track of time!
3. Youâve signed up to wash dogs at the Humane Society to help earn money for your senior class trip. You:
A. Show up ten minutes late. You put off leaving your house until the last minute, then got stuck in unexpected traffic on the way to the shelter. B. Have to call and cancel at the last minute. You forgot youâd already agreed to babysit your cousin and bake cupcakes for tomorrowâs bake sale. C. Actually arrive fifteen minutes early with extra brushes and bandanas you picked up at the store. Youâre passionate about animals, so youâre excited to help out! D. Show up on time, but only get three dogs washed. You couldnât help it: you just kept getting distracted by how cute they were!
4. You have an hour of downtime, so you decide youâre going to watch an episode of The Great British Baking Show. You:
A. Scroll through your social media feeds for twenty minutes before hitting play, which means youâre not able to finish the whole episode. Ugh! You really wanted to see who was sent home! B. Watch fifteen minutes until you remember youâre supposed to pick up your sister from band practice before heading to your part-time job. No GBBO for you! C. You finish one episode, then decide to watch another even though youâve got SAT studying to do. Itâs just more fun to watch people make scones. D. Start the episode, but only catch bits and pieces of it because youâre reading Twitter, cleaning out your backpack, and eating a snack at the same time.
5. Your teacher asks you to stay after class because youâve missed turning in two homework assignments in a row. When she asks you whatâs wrong, you say:
A. You planned to do your assignments during lunch, but you ran out of time. You decided it would be better to turn in nothing at all than submit unfinished work. B. You really wanted to get the assignments done, but between your extracurriculars, family commitments, and your part-time job, your homework fell through the cracks. C. You have a hard time psyching yourself to tackle the assignments. You just canât seem to find the motivation to work on them once you get home. D. You tried to do them, but you had a hard time focusing. By the time you realized you hadnât gotten anything done, it was already time to turn them in.
Like we said earlier, there are no right or wrong answers to this quiz (though your results will be better if you answered as honestly as possible). Hereâs how your answers break down:
- If your answers were mostly As, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is procrastination.
- If your answers were mostly Bs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is time management.
- If your answers were mostly Cs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is motivation.
- If your answers were mostly Ds, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is getting distracted.
Now that youâve identified why youâre having a hard time getting your homework done, we can help you figure out how to fix it! Scroll down to find your core problem area to learn more about how you can start to address it.
And one more thing: youâre really struggling with homework, itâs a good idea to read through every section below. You may find some additional tips that will help make homework less intimidating.
How to Do Homework When Youâre a Procrastinator
Merriam Webster defines âprocrastinateâ as âto put off intentionally and habitually.â In other words, procrastination is when you choose to do something at the last minute on a regular basis. If youâve ever found yourself pulling an all-nighter, trying to finish an assignment between periods, or sprinting to turn in a paper minutes before a deadline, youâve experienced the effects of procrastination.
If youâre a chronic procrastinator, youâre in good company. In fact, one study found that 70% to 95% of undergraduate students procrastinate when it comes to doing their homework. Unfortunately, procrastination can negatively impact your grades. Researchers have found that procrastination can lower your grade on an assignment by as much as five points ...which might not sound serious until you realize that can mean the difference between a B- and a C+.
Procrastination can also negatively affect your health by increasing your stress levels , which can lead to other health conditions like insomnia, a weakened immune system, and even heart conditions. Getting a handle on procrastination can not only improve your grades, it can make you feel better, too!
The big thing to understand about procrastination is that itâs not the result of laziness. Laziness is defined as being âdisinclined to activity or exertion.â In other words, being lazy is all about doing nothing. But a s this Psychology Today article explains , procrastinators donât put things off because they donât want to work. Instead, procrastinators tend to postpone tasks they donât want to do in favor of tasks that they perceive as either more important or more fun. Put another way, procrastinators want to do things...as long as itâs not their homework!
3 Tips f or Conquering Procrastination
Because putting off doing homework is a common problem, there are lots of good tactics for addressing procrastination. Keep reading for our three expert tips that will get your homework habits back on track in no time.
#1: Create a Reward System
Like we mentioned earlier, procrastination happens when you prioritize other activities over getting your homework done. Many times, this happens because homework...well, just isnât enjoyable. But you can add some fun back into the process by rewarding yourself for getting your work done.
Hereâs what we mean: letâs say you decide that every time you get your homework done before the day itâs due, youâll give yourself a point. For every five points you earn, youâll treat yourself to your favorite dessert: a chocolate cupcake! Now you have an extra (delicious!) incentive to motivate you to leave procrastination in the dust.
If youâre not into cupcakes, donât worry. Your reward can be anything that motivates you . Maybe itâs hanging out with your best friend or an extra ten minutes of video game time. As long as youâre choosing something that makes homework worth doing, youâll be successful.
#2: Have a Homework Accountability Partner
If youâre having trouble getting yourself to start your homework ahead of time, it may be a good idea to call in reinforcements . Find a friend or classmate you can trust and explain to them that youâre trying to change your homework habits. Ask them if theyâd be willing to text you to make sure youâre doing your homework and check in with you once a week to see if youâre meeting your anti-procrastination goals.
Sharing your goals can make them feel more real, and an accountability partner can help hold you responsible for your decisions. For example, letâs say youâre tempted to put off your science lab write-up until the morning before itâs due. But you know that your accountability partner is going to text you about it tomorrow...and you donât want to fess up that you havenât started your assignment. A homework accountability partner can give you the extra support and incentive you need to keep your homework habits on track.
#3: Create Your Own Due Dates
If youâre a life-long procrastinator, you might find that changing the habit is harder than you expected. In that case, you might try using procrastination to your advantage! If you just canât seem to stop doing your work at the last minute, try setting your own due dates for assignments that range from a day to a week before the assignment is actually due.
Hereâs what we mean. Letâs say you have a math worksheet thatâs been assigned on Tuesday and is due on Friday. In your planner, you can write down the due date as Thursday instead. You may still put off your homework assignment until the last minute...but in this case, the âlast minuteâ is a day before the assignmentâs real due date . This little hack can trick your procrastination-addicted brain into planning ahead!

How to Do Homework When Youâre too Busy
If youâre aiming to go to a top-tier college , youâre going to have a full plate. Because college admissions is getting more competitive, itâs important that youâre maintaining your grades , studying hard for your standardized tests , and participating in extracurriculars so your application stands out. A packed schedule can get even more hectic once you add family obligations or a part-time job to the mix.
If you feel like youâre being pulled in a million directions at once, youâre not alone. Recent research has found that stressâand more severe stress-related conditions like anxiety and depressionâ are a major problem for high school students . In fact, one study from the American Psychological Association found that during the school year, studentsâ stress levels are higher than those of the adults around them.
For students, homework is a major contributor to their overall stress levels . Many high schoolers have multiple hours of homework every night , and figuring out how to fit it into an already-packed schedule can seem impossible.
3 Tips for Fitting Homework Into Your Busy Schedule
While it might feel like you have literally no time left in your schedule, there are still ways to make sure youâre able to get your homework done and meet your other commitments. Here are our expert homework tips for even the busiest of students.
#1: Make a Prioritized To-Do List
You probably already have a to-do list to keep yourself on track. The next step is to prioritize the items on your to-do list so you can see what items need your attention right away.
Hereâs how it works: at the beginning of each day, sit down and make a list of all the items you need to get done before you go to bed. This includes your homework, but it should also take into account any practices, chores, events, or job shifts you may have. Once you get everything listed out, itâs time to prioritize them using the labels A, B, and C. Hereâs what those labels mean:
- A Tasks : tasks that have to get doneâlike showing up at work or turning in an assignmentâget an A.
- B Tasks : these are tasks that you would like to get done by the end of the day but arenât as time sensitive. For example, studying for a test you have next week could be a B-level task. Itâs still important, but it doesnât have to be done right away.
- C Tasks: these are tasks that arenât very important and/or have no real consequences if you donât get them done immediately. For instance, if youâre hoping to clean out your closet but itâs not an assigned chore from your parents, you could label that to-do item with a C.
Prioritizing your to-do list helps you visualize which items need your immediate attention, and which items you can leave for later. A prioritized to-do list ensures that youâre spending your time efficiently and effectively, which helps you make room in your schedule for homework. So even though you might really want to start making decorations for Homecoming (a B task), youâll know that finishing your reading log (an A task) is more important.
#2: Use a Planner With Time Labels
Your planner is probably packed with notes, events, and assignments already. (And if youâre not using a planner, itâs time to start!) But planners can do more for you than just remind you when an assignment is due. If youâre using a planner with time labels, it can help you visualize how you need to spend your day.
A planner with time labels breaks your day down into chunks, and you assign tasks to each chunk of time. For example, you can make a note of your class schedule with assignments, block out time to study, and make sure you know when you need to be at practice. Once you know which tasks take priority, you can add them to any empty spaces in your day.
Planning out how you spend your time not only helps you use it wisely, it can help you feel less overwhelmed, too . Weâre big fans of planners that include a task list ( like this one ) or have room for notes ( like this one ).
#3: Set Reminders on Your Phone
If you need a little extra nudge to make sure youâre getting your homework done on time, itâs a good idea to set some reminders on your phone. You donât need a fancy app, either. You can use your alarm app to have it go off at specific times throughout the day to remind you to do your homework. This works especially well if you have a set homework time scheduled. So if youâve decided youâre doing homework at 6:00 pm, you can set an alarm to remind you to bust out your books and get to work.
If you use your phone as your planner, you may have the option to add alerts, emails, or notifications to scheduled events . Many calendar apps, including the one that comes with your phone, have built-in reminders that you can customize to meet your needs. So if you block off time to do your homework from 4:30 to 6:00 pm, you can set a reminder that will pop up on your phone when itâs time to get started.

How to Do Homework When Youâre Unmotivated
At first glance, it may seem like procrastination and being unmotivated are the same thing. After all, both of these issues usually result in you putting off your homework until the very last minute.
But thereâs one key difference: many procrastinators are working, theyâre just prioritizing work differently. They know theyâre going to start their homework...theyâre just going to do it later.
Conversely, people who are unmotivated to do homework just canât find the willpower to tackle their assignments. Procrastinators know theyâll at least attempt the homework at the last minute, whereas people who are unmotivated struggle with convincing themselves to do it at a ll. For procrastinators, the stress comes from the inevitable time crunch. For unmotivated people, the stress comes from trying to convince themselves to do something they donât want to do in the first place.
Here are some common reasons students are unmotivated in doing homework :
- Assignments are too easy, too hard, or seemingly pointless
- Students arenât interested in (or passionate about) the subject matter
- Students are intimidated by the work and/or feels like they donât understand the assignment
- Homework isnât fun, and students would rather spend their time on things that they enjoy
To sum it up: people who lack motivation to do their homework are more likely to not do it at all, or to spend more time worrying about doing their homework than...well, actually doing it.
3 Tips for How to Get Motivated to Do Homework
The key to getting homework done when youâre unmotivated is to figure out what does motivate you, then apply those things to homework. It sounds tricky...but itâs pretty simple once you get the hang of it! Here are our three expert tips for motivating yourself to do your homework.
#1: Use Incremental Incentives
When youâre not motivated, itâs important to give yourself small rewards to stay focused on finishing the task at hand. The trick is to keep the incentives small and to reward yourself often. For example, maybe youâre reading a good book in your free time. For every ten minutes you spend on your homework, you get to read five pages of your book. Like we mentioned earlier, make sure youâre choosing a reward that works for you!
So why does this technique work? Using small rewards more often allows you to experience small wins for getting your work done. Every time you make it to one of your tiny reward points, you get to celebrate your success, which gives your brain a boost of dopamine . Dopamine helps you stay motivated and also creates a feeling of satisfaction when you complete your homework !
#2: Form a Homework Group
If youâre having trouble motivating yourself, itâs okay to turn to others for support. Creating a homework group can help with this. Bring together a group of your friends or classmates, and pick one time a week where you meet and work on homework together. You donât have to be in the same class, or even taking the same subjectsâ the goal is to encourage one another to start (and finish!) your assignments.
Another added benefit of a homework group is that you can help one another if youâre struggling to understand the material covered in your classes. This is especially helpful if your lack of motivation comes from being intimidated by your assignments. Asking your friends for help may feel less scary than talking to your teacher...and once you get a handle on the material, your homework may become less frightening, too.
#3: Change Up Your Environment
If you find that youâre totally unmotivated, it may help if you find a new place to do your homework. For example, if youâve been struggling to get your homework done at home, try spending an extra hour in the library after school instead. The change of scenery can limit your distractions and give you the energy you need to get your work done.
If youâre stuck doing homework at home, you can still use this tip. For instance, maybe youâve always done your homework sitting on your bed. Try relocating somewhere else, like your kitchen table, for a few weeks. You may find that setting up a new âhomework spotâ in your house gives you a motivational lift and helps you get your work done.
Social media can be a huge problem when it comes to doing homework. We have advice for helping you unplug and regain focus.
How to Do Homework When Youâre Easily Distracted
We live in an always-on world, and there are tons of things clamoring for our attention. From friends and family to pop culture and social media, it seems like thereâs always something (or someone!) distracting us from the things we need to do.
The 24/7 world we live in has affected our ability to focus on tasks for prolonged periods of time. Research has shown that over the past decade, an average personâs attention span has gone from 12 seconds to eight seconds . And when we do lose focus, i t takes people a long time to get back on task . One study found that it can take as long as 23 minutes to get back to work once weâve been distracte d. No wonder it can take hours to get your homework done!
3 Tips to Improve Your Focus
If you have a hard time focusing when youâre doing your homework, itâs a good idea to try and eliminate as many distractions as possible. Here are three expert tips for blocking out the noise so you can focus on getting your homework done.
#1: Create a Distraction-Free Environment
Pick a place where youâll do your homework every day, and make it as distraction-free as possible. Try to find a location where there wonât be tons of noise, and limit your access to screens while youâre doing your homework. Put together a focus-oriented playlist (or choose one on your favorite streaming service), and put your headphones on while you work.
You may find that other people, like your friends and family, are your biggest distraction. If thatâs the case, try setting up some homework boundaries. Let them know when youâll be working on homework every day, and ask them if theyâll help you keep a quiet environment. Theyâll be happy to lend a hand!
#2: Limit Your Access to Technology
We know, we know...this tip isnât fun, but it does work. For homework that doesnât require a computer, like handouts or worksheets, itâs best to put all your technology away . Turn off your television, put your phone and laptop in your backpack, and silence notifications on any wearable tech you may be sporting. If you listen to music while you work, thatâs fine...but make sure you have a playlist set up so youâre not shuffling through songs once you get started on your homework.
If your homework requires your laptop or tablet, it can be harder to limit your access to distractions. But itâs not impossible! T here are apps you can download that will block certain websites while youâre working so that youâre not tempted to scroll through Twitter or check your Facebook feed. Silence notifications and text messages on your computer, and donât open your email account unless you absolutely have to. And if you donât need access to the internet to complete your assignments, turn off your WiFi. Cutting out the online chatter is a great way to make sure youâre getting your homework done.
#3: Set a Timer (the Pomodoro Technique)
Have you ever heard of the Pomodoro technique ? Itâs a productivity hack that uses a timer to help you focus!
Hereâs how it works: first, set a timer for 25 minutes. This is going to be your work time. During this 25 minutes, all you can do is work on whatever homework assignment you have in front of you. No email, no text messaging, no phone callsâjust homework. When that timer goes off, you get to take a 5 minute break. Every time you go through one of these cycles, itâs called a âpomodoro.â For every four pomodoros you complete, you can take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.
The pomodoro technique works through a combination of boundary setting and rewards. First, it gives you a finite amount of time to focus, so you know that you only have to work really hard for 25 minutes. Once youâve done that, youâre rewarded with a short break where you can do whatever you want. Additionally, tracking how many pomodoros you complete can help you see how long youâre really working on your homework. (Once you start using our focus tips, you may find it doesnât take as long as you thought!)
Two Bonus Tips for How to Do Homework Fast
Even if youâre doing everything right, there will be times when you just need to get your homework done as fast as possible. (Why do teachers always have projects due in the same week? The world may never know.)
The problem with speeding through homework is that itâs easy to make mistakes. While turning in an assignment is always better than not submitting anything at all, you want to make sure that youâre not compromising quality for speed. Simply put, the goal is to get your homework done quickly and still make a good grade on the assignment!
Here are our two bonus tips for getting a decent grade on your homework assignments , even when youâre in a time crunch.
#1: Do the Easy Parts First
This is especially true if youâre working on a handout with multiple questions. Before you start working on the assignment, read through all the questions and problems. As you do, make a mark beside the questions you think are âeasyâ to answer .
Once youâve finished going through the whole assignment, you can answer these questions first. Getting the easy questions out of the way as quickly as possible lets you spend more time on the trickier portions of your homework, which will maximize your assignment grade.
(Quick note: this is also a good strategy to use on timed assignments and tests, like the SAT and the ACT !)
#2: Pay Attention in Class
Homework gets a lot easier when youâre actively learning the material. Teachers arenât giving you homework because theyâre mean or trying to ruin your weekend... itâs because they want you to really understand the course material. Homework is designed to reinforce what youâre already learning in class so youâll be ready to tackle harder concepts later.
When you pay attention in class, ask questions, and take good notes, youâre absorbing the information youâll need to succeed on your homework assignments. (Youâre stuck in class anyway, so you might as well make the most of it!) Not only will paying attention in class make your homework less confusing, it will also help it go much faster, too.
Whatâs Next?
If youâre looking to improve your productivity beyond homework, a good place to begin is with time management. After all, we only have so much time in a day...so itâs important to get the most out of it! To get you started, check out this list of the 12 best time management techniques that you can start using today.

Not sure where to start when solving math problems? Let the Microsoft Math Solver help. It’s a free tool from Microsoft that lets students enter math problems and see step-by-step solutions.

If no one’s asked that question, submit it to get answers.

Upgrading gives you an ad-free experience and faster responses to questions. The Brainly Tutor plan also gives you one-on-one tutoring sessions for personalized help.
Quizlet started as a way to help students study more effectively. Users create flashcards and use them to study for tests – but it’s so much more than just flashcards. Any user can upload their flashcards for free to help others learn new topics or practice difficult topics.
Quizlet has also added premium subscriptions that include adaptive study sessions to focus on weak areas, practice tests, AI tutors, expert solutions, and step-by-step solutions to questions in thousands of textbooks.

Ideal for: K-8 | Most subjects
Sheppard Software is one of the best sites for homework help for younger students. Unlike most free homework help sites, this one uses cute games and flashcards to help kids learn various subjects. Most games are designed for preschool through elementary students, but some work for middle school too.
The cute, colorful games help concepts like multiplication, spelling, and geography stick in kids’ minds. Parents may want to consider introducing their kids to these games to help prep them for a new school year or as a refresher after a break.
Ideal for: Grades 5-12 and college | Most subjects
HippoCampus uses videos to teach a wide variety of topics. It’s not quite as extensive as some of the other homework help services on this list, but for visual learners, it could be the perfect helper for homework assignments. There are 13 subject areas divided into math, natural science, social science, and humanities.
Videos come from different sources, including some from Khan Academy. You’ll also find videos from NASA, NOAA, and even some colleges. Everything is free to access, though videos do load slowly. But, once they load, they’re easy to follow and understand.
Homework help sites empower students to push past obstacles and better understand subjects. However, make sure they’re learning and not using AI tools like ChatGPT to do the work for them. Also, help students get better sleep with these calming apps so that they perform even better in school.

Santa Clarita Valley's #1 Local News Source
Schiavoâs homework bill among those to be judged on âsuspense dayâ , tyler wainfeld.
- August 14, 2024
Thursdayâs Appropriations Committee hearings in both the state Assembly and Senate will decide on the fate of a slew of bills currently hanging in âsuspense.â
Commonly known as âSuspense Day,â the biannual hearing held in both houses of the state Legislature has the committees swiftly move through hundreds of bills that have been deemed to potentially cost the state at least $50,000 or more from the stateâs general fund or $150,000 from a special fund.
Included in Thursdayâs hearing in the Senate is Assembly Bill 2999 , authored by Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo, D-Chatsworth. Also known as the Healthy Homework Act, the bill would require school districts across the state to develop homework policies based on guidelines developed by the state Department of Education, which would be posted on its website by Jan. 1, 2026.
School districts would have until the start of the 2028-29 school year to adopt such a policy, according to the current text of the bill. They would then have to update that policy every five years, if needed.
The Senateâs Appropriations Committee fiscal analysis found that there could be potential for millions of dollars in costs, as each school district would likely need to spend between $5,000 and $10,000 in developing policies. Further costs could be added on as districts review policies over time.
Schiavo issued the following statement to The Signal after AB 2999 moved forward from the Senateâs Education Committee, with support from Sen. Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, who sits on the committee:
âI am thrilled that the Healthy Homework Act has passed in the Senate Education Committee with unanimous, bipartisan support,â Schiavo said in the statement. âI want to thank my colleague, Sen. Wilk, for his support and for sharing his personal story about the stresses of his sonâs homework, a sentiment echoed by so many parents I have spoken with about this bill. Homework stress not only impacts our kids, but the entire family, and as we face a student mental health crisis, these are some of the reasons why the California PTA strongly supports this bill. This legislation is a crucial step toward ensuring we are intentional about homework that supports our studentsâ education, and we also prioritize our studentsâ mental and physical well-being.â
Thursdayâs hearings will include 19 bills from the four representatives of the Santa Clarita Valley â seven from Schiavo; three from Wilk; six from Sen. Henry Stern, D-Calabasas; and three from Assemblyman Tom Lackey, R-Palmdale.
Any that pass through to their full respective chambers would need to be moved on to Gov. Gavin Newsomâs desk by Aug. 31 to be signed into law.

Here are the most expensive and cheapest stores for school supplies
By Kate Gibson
Edited By Anne Marie Lee
Updated on: August 13, 2024 / 12:47 PM EDT / CBS News
Back-to-school shopping is well underway, with more than half of consumers already buying supplies for upcoming classes, according to a survey from the National Retail Federation. With spending expected to reach $38.8 billion, according to the NRF, shoppers may want to do some homework before busting the family budget.
Depending on the student's age, the tab for back-to-school supplies can vary. The NRF's projections, for instance, include those shopping for college and factor in products such as laptops, clothing and shoes.
Other related costs include items for the extracurricular activities that 86% of parents report having enrolled their kids in ahead of fall classes. The average cost of supplies, including fees and equipment, comes to $582 a child, a survey by Deloitte found .
Parents plan to spend an average of $586 per child on school items this year, according to the poll of 1,200 U.S.-based parents of school-aged children conducted in May.
With that in mind, here are some cost-saving tips for back-to-school shopping.
Crayons, glue sticks and construction paper
Website FinanceBuzz offers a rundown of the most expensive and least expensive stores to load up on supplies for kids going to elementary, middle and high school.
The site added up the total cost of 20 basic items: Crayons, glue sticks, construction paper, markers, pencil box, safety scissors, scientific calculator, notebooks, ruler, binders, loose-leaf paper, folders, backpack, lunch box, pencils, pens, highlighters, combination lock, dry-erase markers and a box of tissues. The average cost of those supplies came to $106.73, according to data the site collected from store websites.
In looking at 10 major retailers, FinanceBuzz found Walmart to be the least expensive, with prices for those 20 common items coming to $67.37, or 37% below average. At Dollar General and Target, those items could also be purchased for under $100, or $70.50 and $83.25, respectively. Fulfilling the list came to $101.60 at Staples, the fourth cheapest store to stock up on school supplies, according to the site.
Michaels had the most expensive school supplies, with the FinanceBuzz team tallying up the cost at $185.28, nearly three times what it would cost for the same products at Walmart. Walgreens and Office Depot were the second and third most pricey, with the former costing $134.61 and the latter $121.55. The 20 items could be found on Amazon for $119.07, making the retailing giant the fourth priciest.
Buying the supplies at Meijer would cost $109.25 and at Kroger the tab would run $114.01, according to the site, which noted that both grocers had become "everything" stores.
Many people choose to shop online at Amazon due to the convenience, but the cost of shipping can surpass the value of some products, leading Amazon to hike those prices. "As a result, school items like crayons, construction paper and rulers are more expensive to buy from Amazon than any other retailer," the researchers noted.
Research options, discounts
Consumer Reports advises taking the time to research your options, including deals, discounts and price comparisons.
Another potential cost-saving measure is to ask teachers what supplies are needed right away and what purchases can be delayed, as there are still deals to be found after school starts, the nonprofit advocacy group offered.
Other tips from CR include searching for student discounts, as some retailers and brands run special promotions at this time — and some offer student discounts all year long. Those can include offers on tech, clothing, dorm supplies, phone plans and online subscriptions.
Also, take advantage of sales tax holidays. More than a dozen of the 45 states that collect sales taxes have holidays from the levy during the summer.
CR also advises those looking for the biggest bang for their buck to spread out their shopping. Wholesale clubs can be a particularly thrifty move for large or multiple families who can divvy up bulk supplies.
Keeping an eye on sales after you are done shopping can also cut costs. If something goes on sale after you bought it, you might be able to get some of your money back, depending on the retailer's policy. Some allow two weeks for such requests, according to CR. If that approach does not work, you can also return and repurchase the item, the consumer site said.
